Abstract

Corruption is considered as the most important factor impeding the socio-economic transformation of developing countries. It is threatening the existence of countries like Nigeria. Every sphere of life is affected by corruption. To counter the menace of corruption, various agencies have played a significant role, one such being the Media-Print or Broadcasting. The fight against corruption is not an easy one but with greater autonomy, media can certainly play a significant role. This will not only lead to trickling down of benefits of development to the masses and enable them to improve their economic position but will also benefit the country by way of improving its economic status at the world level.
